 NATIONAL LAMPOON

During the magazine's most successful  years, parody of every kind was a  mainstay; surrealist content was  also central to its appeal. Almost all the  issues included long text pieces,  shorter written pieces, a section of  actual news items (dubbed "True Facts"), cartoons and comic strips. Most  issues also included "Foto Funnies"  or fumetti. The result was an unusual mix of intelligent, cutting-edge wit, combined with some crass, bawdy jesting.[1] In both cases,  National Lampoon humor often pushed far  beyond the boundaries of what  was generally considered appropriate and  acceptable. As co-founder Henry Bearddescribed the experience years later: "There was this big door that said, 'Thou shalt not.' We touched it, and it fell off its hinges."
